Smile dammit!
This is top 100,US anyway not worldwide. I am surprised Titanic has taken so much more than the rest. Which ones in this list deserve to be higher?

Surprised Pulp Fiction and Silence of the Lambs and The Mission is not on!
A Beautiful Mind,Rain Man I would have thought would be higher than some of the others such as The Spiderman movies'!

Twister was the worst on the list!

GWTW being the best!

Strange how all the films are so recent.

I was also worried that there only 5 I have not seen LOL

This list is apparently just the top grossing movies on a money basis. It's really not based on anyone's preferences--strictly the facts. And it would not appear to take into account the difference in the value of the dollar through the years, which is why most of them are from the last few years.

Meaning, for example, if theater tickets for Gone With the Wind had been about $10 each, as they generally are now, it probably would have grossed much higher than Titanic.

And I did not like Titanic at all! :D

Interesting list, Storm. Thanks! :)

Smile dammit!
I would have thought Star Wars would eclipse the rest. I bet it does over a long period,world-wide. As i said Dragon,it was US gross,not world wide for Enter The Dragon.
I'd have to say,24 The Matrix Reloaded deserves to be higher.The FX and action were awesome.

Thanks STORM for the info
